E-book: Grip on behavior

In “Grip on Behavior”, Juni Daalmans guides us into the world of behavioral psychology, enriched with the latest neurological insights. He explores the question: How can we influence our own and others’ behavior to achieve positive outcomes?

Through scientific insights, real-life examples, and practical tips, we learn to better understand, influence, and effectively steer behavior.

Juni Daalmans is an expert in psychology and safety. He introduced the concept of Brain Based Safety, which approaches safety from a neuropsychological perspective. It examines how behavior arises and how it can be influenced by understanding how the brain works. Daalmans’ work focuses on promoting safe behavior in the workplace by applying knowledge about innate responses, learned behavior, and the influence of environmental factors. His approach aims to reduce accidents and improve overall safety through education and adjustments to the work environment.

The first-line supervisor and safe work behaviour

This practical book describes the role of the first-line supervisor in the advancement of safe behaviour at work.

The first-line supervisor and safe work behaviour is an English translation of Daalmans` book De eerstelijns leidinggevende en veilig werkgedrag. The English translation was done to meet the demand from Dutch companies (for their foreign employees) and also because of international interest. The fact is, the concept of Brain Based Safety which the author has developed is enjoying increasing interest abroad. This method translates recent knowledge of the brain into the encouragement of safe behaviour within organisations. As the link between the work floor and management, the first-line supervisor – of all parties – is the one who has the most influence on the behaviour of employees. His or her influence is described in the form of seven competencies, using a case which has been written on the basis of facts. You can best compare these seven competencies with dials, which you as a first-line supervisor can `turn` to influence an employee`s behaviour.

From accident analyses, it appears that the most gain in the area of safe working can be achieved by strengthening safe behaviour. To do this, Juni Daalmans uses the Brain Based Safety method, which he has developed.

Safe work behaviour with Brain Based Safety (2017)

This book is a translation of the Dutch publication ‘Veilig werkgedrag door Brain Based Safety’.

Nowadays we know much more about the working of the brain, especially how it perceives things, how it decides and how it prepares and performs actions. This book uses that new understanding. It focuses on the question what the brain teaches us about safe work behaviour and which opportunities we have to influence that behaviour.

Juni Daalmans offers the reader an innovative insight in the psychology behind the success or failure of many work-related safety measures.
One of the key messages is that behaviour is driven by conscious processes to only a limited extent. Learning and changing isn’t only achieved by talking about it, but rather by doing it together. Explanation is useful but practice makes perfect.

Working from his views on Brain Based Safety, Juni Daalmans illustrates how unsafe behaviour in the workplace can be changed effectively. He focuses on themes such as risk detection and risk evaluation, the influence of readiness, stress and regulations, the impact of the organisation and the effects of teamwork and leadership.

Juni Daalmans touches on the clash between how the brain operates and how safety studies have developed in recent years. The issue is the excess of rules and procedures which from a psychological point of view form a threat to risk detection, and which are often presented to us as the solution to managing dangers.

The challenge is how to apply in practice the theory and principles which Daalmans provides. This book lends a hand by offering clear cases and examples from actual practice. Each chapter concludes with a summary and a list of practical prospects for safety management.

Human Behavior in Hazardous Situations

Human Behavior in Hazardous Situations introduces a new generation within safety management, fully developed with neuropsychological insights, developed in collaboration with, and put to test by, the chemical and process industries.

Until now, there has been little theoretical framework on how, and especially why, people behave the way they do in hazardous situations. Human Behavior in Hazardous Situations presents new theories, based on a human behavioral approach, to offer a fresh perspective on safety management. By way of case studies, practical tips and exercises, Daalmans demonstrates how this neuropsychological approach can be applied for those safety managers working in the Chemical, Process and Pharmaceutical industries.
